Can Spray Foam Really Lower My Energy Bills? Here’s the Proof

Let’s talk about energy bills for a second—because if you’re living in Nova Scotia, especially during our chilly winters, there’s a good chance you’ve looked at yours and thought, “Seriously? Again?”

You’re not alone.

Heating costs can skyrocket fast when your home isn’t properly sealed or insulated. And if you're constantly adjusting the thermostat but still feeling cold (or sweating through the summer), there's a good chance your insulation is letting you down.

So—can spray foam insulation actually lower your energy bills?

Short answer: Yes.

Long answer: Let us show you how. 👇

Why Energy Bills Are So High in Poorly Insulated Homes

If your home was built years ago—or if it still has fiberglass batts, old insulation, or no insulation at all in certain areas—you’re probably losing heat. A lot of it.

Here’s what happens:

• Warm air escapes through tiny gaps, cracks, and poorly insulated walls or attics

• Cold air sneaks in around windows, outlets, floors, and ceilings

• Your furnace runs constantly, trying to keep up

  
  

It’s like trying to heat your house with the windows open. And it’s costing you more than you think.

How Spray Foam Works to Save Energy

Spray foam insulation isn’t just about staying warm—it’s about locking in energy so your heating (or cooling) system doesn’t have to work overtime.

Here’s why spray foam is different:

• It expands on contact to fill every little crack and crevice

• It creates a continuous, airtight barrier

• It works as both insulation and an air seal

• Closed-cell spray foam even acts as a moisture and vapour barrier

  
  

Think of it like wrapping your home in a custom-fitted winter jacket—no more drafts, no more wasted energy.

Real Energy Savings – By the Numbers

Depending on your home’s current insulation (or lack of it), switching to spray foam can save you up to 30–50% on your monthly heating and cooling costs.

Let’s break that down:

• Heating bill: ~$300/month in peak season

• Spray foam savings: 30% = $90/month

• That’s over $1,000/year back in your pocket!

• 
  

And if you live in an older home in Halifax, Dartmouth, or anywhere in NS, you might even save more—because those homes tend to leak heat like crazy.

Bonus Savings – Rebates & Long-Term ROI

You might be thinking, “Spray foam sounds great, but what about the cost?”

Good news: there are rebates and incentives available to help you upgrade and save.

• Efficiency Nova Scotia offers rebates for air sealing and insulation upgrades

• Canada Greener Homes Grant can give you up to $5,000 back for energy-efficient home improvements (like spray foam!)

  
  

We can help you connect with an energy advisor and walk you through the process—easy peasy.

Why It’s a Smart Investment in NS

Between the long winters, humid summers, and unpredictable shoulder seasons, homes in Nova Scotia need insulation that actually performs.

Spray foam checks every box:

• Seals out cold in the winter

• Keeps cool air in during the summer

• Blocks moisture and mold

• Lowers bills year-round

• Lasts for decades without settling or sagging

  
  

It’s not just an upgrade—it’s an investment in your comfort and your long-term savings.
